Rare bookshelf designed by Walter Wirz (Zurich 1919–2014) for Wilhelm Renz
Germany, circa 1960
Material: pressed wood.
The concealed mounting creates a floating effect.
The sturdy metal mounting brackets ensure the rack can carry a considerable weight.
The smooth white upholstery makes the item extremely easy to maintain.
This item is a beautiful example of mid-century modern design: functional and with a strong architectural character.
